New Producer Spotlight: Finnegan ‘N Friends
Out of Springboro, PA, Finnegan ‘N Friends offers uniquely named and flavored jams, jellies, and relishes. Owner Brenda learned how to make jams and jellies alongside her mother on the farm she grew up on. Ingredients are locally sourced as much as possible and are prepared in a certified home kitchen.
Her Scottish Terrier, Finnegan, serves as her mascot.
Food for Thought
The Farm Behind the Food: Maple Leaf Farm
This week, we are continuing to feature producer interviews, filmed and edited by Allegheny College Biology Major and Video Production Assistant Mary Dosch. Part of our mission is connecting customers with the people who grow and make their food. Mary’s videos are a great way to do that. Thanks, Mary!
Maple Leaf Farm is the next producer to be featured in our “The Farm Behind the Food” series. This family farm from Greenville, PA specializes in happily-raised pork products free from hormones or antibiotics.
Announcements
Bring Your Own Cup
As supply chain issues continue to raise prices, we are urging our coffee and tea-loving customers to bring their own reusable mugs and vessels when you pick up a beverage at the Boro Sweet Spot. All bring-your-own beverages are only $1.30, so save some $ while you also save some to-go cups from the landfill!
